A hip crowd packs the tables in the small dining rooms and, in good weather, fills the patio that faces Sixth Avenue. Pop music blasts from the speakers, and cocktail waitresses too young to be jaded sling cocktails - and lots of them. Welcome to Lime XS, where Americanized Mexican plates rule the menu and every party starts with a basket of deep-fried flour tortilla chips and salsa. Happy hour is a big draw, with its inexpensive margaritas and taco deals; late nights often devolve into utter dance-party debauchery. The bar has also gained traction as a bachelorette party spot, since it offers free rounds for brides-to-be.
